Those who are willing to take the bait
The crowd below continued to offer congratulations, "Congratulations! You truly have a big, healthy baby boy."
The child was no longer crying at this moment.
Seeing the smiles still lingering on everyone's faces, it was clear that everyone was happy about the child's birth.
The crowd did not know what kind of future awaited this child.
The four of them, including Su Yu, returned to their original location.
At this moment, the flame of the lantern of hope had returned to its normal state, which further confirmed their suspicions.
Taiyin Spirit spoke up, "When the flame of the lantern of hope displays such an anomaly, a Lamp Lighter may be born."
"It's just that we don't know how long it will take for one to be born."
"But at least we have a clue now. Let's not worry about this matter for the time being; we can discuss the child's situation later."
"The lamp of hope is not something we can consider right now either."
The three returned to the courtyard, as Qian Yun had departed halfway.
Taiyin Spirit said, "There is one more thing. It is said that when that Lamp Lighter reaches a certain level, they will undergo Awakening, and a totem of a lantern will appear on their body."
"This totem is the key. Only those who manifest the totem can be considered a true Lamp Lighter, which signifies that they have been acknowledged by the lamp of hope."
"Otherwise, it serves no great purpose; it is merely a threshold."
Ling Wanqing heard this and asked, "Does that mean this child might just live an ordinary life?"
"That's right. We cannot interfere with this matter, nor do we know how to obtain this acknowledgment; it all depends on him."
"That is why we don't need to worry about him; everything is fated."
"In any case, there won't be any accidents in this world, and no one else knows about the child's birth."
"If this were in the Immortal Realm, it might have attracted the attention of many."
"Those old fogies would likely be unable to sit still; the temptation of the lamp of hope is immense to them."
Su Yu did not speak at this moment, his eyes seemingly searching for something.
It was as if he had appeared within the River of Time, observing past events.
Over the next few days, the two of them stayed here.
They also traveled to some places in this world to sightsee.
After all, this was different from the Spirit Domain; many distinct customs and experiences had emerged here.
These experiences seemed quite novel to Ling Wanqing at first glance, as she had never encountered them before.
Furthermore, they were very intriguing to her.
However, these customs and activities were very familiar to Su Yu.
Su Yu knew that these activities were actually born from a combination of the festivals from his past life.
Because this was a world of his own creation, certain memories in his mind would influence things to some extent.
These things had materialized, forming the current customs.
This gave him a different perspective.
At this moment, Su Yu was fishing by a nearby lake.
Ling Wanqing was brewing tea in the courtyard.
Taiyin Spirit stood silently beside Su Yu.
"You must know something about that child from earlier. I felt at the time that you seemed to know something."
"You didn't say anything back then."
Su Yu replied, "Well, I do know a few things."
"But these things are inconsequential right now; the child's birth is not a bad thing for us."
"Just as you said, everything is fated."
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Taiyin Spirit fell silent for a moment.
"More and more interesting things are appearing in this world."
"First, there was the birth of the Righteous Heart, and later, the unique special Physique, the Calamity Enduring Body."
"Now, a mysterious Lamp Lighter has appeared. The longer time passes, the more interesting things become."
"I wonder what other interesting things will appear in the future."
Su Yu thought for a moment, "Perhaps there will be many more unexpected events in the future."
"I won't be surprised by anything anymore; perhaps I have already grown accustomed to it."
Su Yu looked at the calm surface of the lake, "There are some things we don't need to dwell on."
Just then, ripples appeared on the water's surface.
"A fish has taken the bait."
As the fish was reeled onto the shore, he said, "Finally, it took the bait. I haven't caught a single fish in these past few days."
After speaking, Su Yu cast his fishing rod back into the water.
Taiyin Spirit spoke up at this moment, "You forgot to put on the bait."
"I didn't forget. The willing take the bait."
Taiyin understood something upon hearing these words.
"Is that so? The willing take the bait. I won't disturb your fishing then."
Taiyin Spirit returned to Ling Wanqing's side, and the two continued to chat about topics Su Yu was unaware of.
On this day, the three came to the village where the Calamity Enduring Body resided.
The village had now grown and thrived, but they basically never traveled too far from it.
And that Calamity Enduring Body had now become the leader of this village.
His cultivation Realm was not inferior to the current leader of the Taichu Sect; to a certain extent, he was even significantly stronger.
After all, his Physique was too special; if he were to go out, Taiyin Spirit would have to constantly keep him in check.
Although he could now control the occurrence of some things to a certain extent, there were still many things he could not control.
After all, he was a walking Incarnation of calamity.
Fortunately, the people in this village were no longer affected, otherwise, it would have been difficult to manage.
And that fellow who originally possessed the ability of foresight had also achieved quite a lot.
He was called Lord Prophet by the people in the village, and many would come to him for help in divining the unknown and seeking good fortune while avoiding disaster.
To him, these matters were naturally a piece of cake.
He had once wanted to divine the future of their village's current leader.
But he stopped just as he had begun, because the moment he started, blood had begun to flow continuously from his mouth.
His body had already suffered damage, so he immediately stopped, not daring to continue; if he had continued, he would have died.
His ability was not yet sufficient.
This meant that the leader's future was destined to be extraordinary, which was the reason he was willing to assist him.
Taiyin Spirit looked at the situation here, "It seems to be the same as before."
Ling Wanqing said, "Those two are both extraordinary existences; I don't know what they will become in the future."
In the following time, the three observed the situations of some famous factions from above.
During this time, they also witnessed some melodramatic events, but they just watched and did not intervene in these matters.
Unknowingly, a month had passed. After bidding farewell to Taiyin Spirit, the two returned to the Star Sea Sect.
And just like that, another period of time passed.
